"I needed a large tree removed that was very close to my neighbors fence. The tree was removed and all debris cleaned up. It was done in a timely manner and at a great price. I would definitely recommend Figuemax and hire again."

"Very professional they worked all day as this was a huge tree that we were worried would eventually damage the house. From the initial phone call to the completed job, everything was wonderful. We have also used Big Timber at our house several times and they have always been professional and great service which is why we used them for my parents house too. We will continue to use them for our tree trimming and removal as we live in a very wooded area that needs constant tree care.

"The crew was organized, worked quickly and cleaned up afterwards. They were very good at carefully lowering cut branches so as not to damage anything in the yard. Very professional. I was pleased with the results and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future."

"I am very happy with the service provided by CC Tree Experts. They will be the first company I call for this service from now on. 1) Responsive. They were the first ones out with a quote (within a day). My prior service took a week to get a guy out. 2) Fair. Of the quotes I got, they had a fair price.. no over charging. 3) Efficient. On the day of, they were running by 8 am with all vehicles and tools. They were basically done by 11:30. 4) Safe. I watched them slice and dice a tall old tree with control and precision. 5) Clean. The tree and area was chocked with overgrowth and vines. They navigated it all and left the ground clean and debris free. It did take 3 weeks to get work started. I blame that on their high demand. Book early."

"My experience with R&B Tree Services couldnâ t have been better! They were easy to get in touch with and they communicated frequently about every part of the process. I appreciate that they came to see what needed to be done and provided a free estimate. They were very professional and got the job done quickly and carefully. They did such a good job, everything looked great when it was done and they left no debris behind. I would definitely use their services again!"

"The two men who showed up were very polite.  They worked quickly and did a beautiful job cleaning the leaves from behind my garage, my flower beds and lawn.  I have many trees so there were plenty of leaves.  They blew them neatly into a pile where they could be picked up by my town's leaf truck.  I was extremely pleased with their work and would most definitely use them again.

"Removed 6 large trees, ground stumps, and pruned a large tree. Our date was moved several times due to weather and communication was great through entire process. Tim was great to work with on the sales side - friendly and knowledgeable. Crew of at least 8 people showed up plus the supervisor. The team was friendly and careful/respectful of our property. They made sure our septic system wouldn't be disturbed by the truck or equipment. Removal was fast and clean up was great."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.
